Austin's Supercharged Mid Travel Build

I've had a few issues with the front of my truck for awhile that I finally got around to fixing. The biggest issue was that my skid plate was rubbing on the bottom of my radiator and started eating away at the plastic. Since I had to pull the front end of the truck apart to change the radiator to a shorter one anyways, I decided to replace the headlights, grill clips, get the bumper powder coated to match the skid plate, relocate the turn signals to my corner lights, and address a few other small issues. I got around to everything today other than relocating the turn signals.


Front end all apart with the new radiator mounted up.



New headlights and grill with new clips in place.



Picked the bumper up from the powder coater.



Almost back together minus the side lights with relocated turn signals.

 

Got the truck back together. Love having the skid plate and bumper finally match.



What should I do next? Stuck between rock sliders and a rear bumper.

 

Sliders get my vote

 

Sliders as well

 

@ChadsPride @boostedka I'm leaning towards sliders as well.

 

Sub’d!

Nice double cab, bud!

Total Chaos outboard shock relocation kit and 10'' fox shocks came in the mail. Hoping to get it all installed within the next week or so.

 

Some pics via @Mike's Custom Toys of the Total Chaos shock relocation, and the difference in shock length between the Fox's and 5100's.

 

Have you tried flexing it yet to see if the tires rub on the shock?

 

The instructions for the kit say that 1.25'' wheel spacers are required to not rub the shocks. I'm using wheel spacers with my kit, so I hope it doesn't rub. The kit is still being installed at the moment, so I'm not sure if it will rub or not yet. Once I get the truck back, I'll go test it out and let you know.

 

Subd. Nice build. Interested to see how the outboard shocks work out.

 

Thanks! I'll make sure to post some pictures once the shock relocation is completed and let you guys know what I think of it.

 

NICE DUDE, can't wait to see the Tc kit !

 

Thanks again for the deal @jtanner21.

 

Sub'd, Sweet build man. looking forward to future posts.

 

Thanks for the sub! Lots more to come

 

For sure brother ..
